I just knew it was a terrifying thing where parents would separate because they didn’t like each other…

It was like a scene from a movie. My heart was beating faster than I had ever imagined possible. I couldn’t wrap my mind around what had just happened. How did this happen? Why did this happen to me? Was this karma? Did I upset the universe or God? Was this a test of my faith, a testament of God's grace, or did I just have the worst luck ever? It was by far the worst experience of my life.
